So sick I missed this year. Hope you all had a great week of riding and racing and the weather not too unkind. Have a safe trip back and see you all next year in Dundrod.

I got back last night and can only say that I laughed the entire time I was on the island (apart from when Magz took her XB bog snorkling - get well soon my love :yup: ).
Huge thanks to you all for the friendship and wonderful comeraderie, it was a huge privilege to be in your company :worthy: .
A special thanks to digger for getting us all organised and to OF and Gill for the lovely Lobster BBQ :D :worthy:

A little bit of Heaven fell onto the paradise isle last week, and Paula and myself were fortunate enough to be there. Photos will follow soon, but I now have to bury our 18yr old cat O'Malley, who passed away 1/2hr before we arrived home :(

Sorry about O'Malley Adam :(

Just got out of a hot bath (the luxury ;) ) after the 300 mile ride back from Heysham. What an amazing week we've had. A huge thanks to Digger for looking after the chidren; we had the best fun ever! A week of memories and truly a life defining experience.

Everything from the Festival of Jurby, the amazing offical Diggertours band (the Betty Swollocks), the steam train (chootenacca, chootenacca), Martin's glasses, the mountain, Monkey's sprint, O'Flyer's lobster BBQ and, of course, the racing......was absolutely brilliant.

Just short of 1000 miles this week and the MV didn't miss a beat - I love my bike 8-) and we have just the best friends in the world, thank you all :yup:

Got back this afternoon after a brilliant week in the best of company. It was my first time at the MGP and over 20 years since my last trip to the Island. it was certainly more "chilled" than the TT, but the racing was just as fantastic. We all witnessed some rising stars setting out on the road to TT glory this last week. :worthy:

I"d especially like to thank Digger for the top notch organisation on this trip. A great location to get a night's sleep and excellent viewpoints to get the essence of the course. :yup: :worthy:

Thanks also to Gill and Martin for sharing their slice of Island life with us, it was good to catch up. 8-)

I also hooked up with some friends from the old days who followed their dream to live on the Island and it was good to see them doing well.

You can watch as many videos of the TT as you like, but nothing comes close to being there.
I had almost forgotten how magical the place is.

Thanks for reminding me, John. :4roz:

What can I say, that hasn't already been said...

Digger - thank you, it was a brammer :yup:

Back home after another fantastic Diggertour, in the very best of company - I love our Beulligan mates, you are all the best. :4roz: :4roz:

Despite not getting out and about as much as I would have liked to, we still had a fantastic holiday with you all. Our sides have split many times over, with the out loud belly laughs that rolled on all week. I felt a lot of love too, and was very touched by your kind words and gifts after my acrobatic performance.

Adam - so sorry to hear about O'Malley, I was lucky enough to be introduced to him at D5 :(

Can't wait to see you all again soon :worthy: :dance: :dance: :worthy:

Think it's just about all been said. Fantastic week with fantastic people 8-) Adam's shots are a great sample of a few of the high points including Willy supplying oral stimulation and wiping the helmet of No 69.

A couple more highlights for me were the Betty Swollocks band playing "Comfortably Numb" (which was a little too emotional for some of us but very memorable) and the permanent look of joy on Ash's face. :D He doesn't get out much while bringing up a young family, dealing with shitty employers and spannering this place so a week of honing his riding skills, stalking racers and partying was just what the doctor ordered.

As always special thanks to Digger for making it all happen. A very laid back approach of "this is what we're doing, join us if you want or do your own thing if you prefer" made for a brilliant week. His local knowledge and understanding were invaluable.

This was especially highlighted when Magz had her little incident. The plan had been to ride up to Glen Helen to watch the racing. Unforeseen delays including helicopter pilots arriving in police vans meant that road closures would have meant we couldn't get to our chosen destination. All this was anticipated by Digger who then led us through gravel strewn single track roads to arrive at Cronk y Voddy (sp?) to witness some stunning close up high speed action in a peaceful area which still offered a portaloo and catering van.

Well done to Digger and the entire crew. Love you all :4roz:

Steve

To all you Faecebookers, I had intended to start using F/B (and added Ash+Digger as contacts last night) but after reading the comments by 'experts' on Ash's page who weren't even there, I really can't be arsed and being a Mod. here, I can't really put anyone on my 'Ignore' list :roll:
So please Vanessa and Andy, don't be offended if I don't join in the banter there, I consider you proper Chums, and thoroughly enjoy your company out in the real world.
Wasn't last week just the very best of times :worthy: :sun: :sun: :sun:

Indeed it was Chum 8-)

Quite understand regarding the Arsebook thing - far too many keyboard warriors out there :roll:

Anyway, we know where you live and we have your phone numbers :twisted: ;)
